“Being your first lady was my greatest honor, thank you for your love and support,” Melania said in a speech on Inauguration Day. \"You will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all, God bless your families and God bless this beautiful nation.\"

Neither Melania nor President Trump wore protective face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The couple will also not be attending today's inauguration ceremony for President-elect Joe Biden.
